Poor Technique

[tockmal]

This comes pretty close to some of the worst work positioning and cutting in a tree I've seen.

His last cut was how he shoulda been making all the cuts.

 

I guess he was late for a wedding or something!

He'll be early for his own funeral working like that!

 

1. Yo yo drop starts a rear handled saw holding the rear handle with finger on trigger.

 

2. No use of brake, he did get the inertia brake to kick in at one point due to dropping the saw trying to grab at a falling piece of timber.

 

3. Too far away when trying to break the pieces off, over reaching.

 

4. Letting the stem swing about wildly as he makes his cuts.

 

5. Saw too big for stem diameter.

 

6. One handed push off with left hand - bad practice.

 

7. No helmet.

 

8. Not positioning his lanyard and line properly, they should be separated with about a foot between them.

 

9. Letting himself get distracted by people on the ground.

 

10. Showing off, letting his ego take control instead of his mind.

 

11. Too far away from the stem when he is making his cuts.

 

12. Revs saw before it is in proper position.

 

13. Cuts above his head for no good reason other than poor work positioning.

 

14. Poor step cuts, loses one piece before he could break it off.

 

15. No warning signals to people on ground before he throws pieces off.

 

16. Rushing.

 

17. Step cuts made at poor angle allowing for potentially fatal kickback.

 

18. Makes nearly all his cuts at neck height where he has less control of the saw.

 

This is a great video to show trainees how not to do it.
